EAGLE-GENOMICS

Smart data management for life sciences company, Eagle Genomics, has
today announced it has been awarded a close to £600,000 grant from
Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency, to support the company’s
ongoing commitment to radically reduce time to insight through data
science.

The project which has received the grant, under the banner; ‘Increase
your data's value: A value-driven semantic enrichment system to speed up
scientific insight’ – will further develop the pioneering e
[curate]
data curation module. Using a unique combination of conversational and
statistical learning, decision theory and semantic enrichment, e
[curate]
will enable scientists to question data with context, significantly
improving relevancy and, therefore, speed to insight. Integrated as part
of Eagle’s ‘e[
automateddata
scientist]
’
platform, e
[curate] will solve the constraints scientists
currently experience in being able to weave and store data consistently.

In support of the project Eagle Genomics will receive a share of the
£197m to be invested in healthcare and medicine through the Industrial
Strategy Challenge Fund, introduced by the UK Government to help meet
the ‘major industrial and societal challenges of our time’.

The impact of the e
[curate] platform on life sciences research
will be significant, not only in addressing the challenge of speeding up
patient access to new drugs and treatments, but also in reducing the
cost of bringing drugs to market.

Executive Chairman at Eagle Genomics, Anthony Finbow commented - “We are
delighted to have received this Innovate UK award, in recognition of the
potential of our platform to radically reduce the time and cost involved
in achieving scientific insight. We’re excited about the impact this
will have on drug discovery and innovation, resulting in better tailored
therapeutics (precision medicines) and safer consumer products.”

The Chief Executive of the UK’s innovation agency, Innovate UK, Dr Ruth
McKernan commented: “Innovate UK is proud to support Eagle Genomics in
the development of the e
[curate] platform which has the
potential to accelerate scientific discovery, through intelligent data
storage and analysis. This will speed the creation of new
medicines, increasing productivity in the health and life sciences, a
key aim of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund.”
